Kia sorento how much

2019 Kia Sorento; Cars.com photos by Brian Wong The verdict: The Kia Sorento is a jack-of-all-trades SUV that's well-rounded in key areas, including safety features, comfort and technology. Versus the competition: The Sorento's lack of a signature trait doesn't hurt it; it's as versatile an SUV as there is in this class, though it isn't as roomy as some competitors. The phrase "jack of all trades, master of none" is a good fit for the 2019 Kia Sorento. It doesn't have a signature trait or even a single aspect in which it outdistances its competition, but that's not to the Sorento's detriment; its myriad strengths (and only one real weakness) give it a unique position in its class. The Sorento gets a light update for 2019; the biggest change is a third row that's now standard on all trim levels. There are also some styling updates on the outside, small tweaks to the interior and a new eight-speed automatic transmission paired with the optional V-6. Compare it with the 2018 model … [Read more...] about 2019 Kia Sorento Review: Jack of All Trades

It’s hard to find any faults with the Sorento, but I also didn’t feel anything driving it. The current body style of the Kia Sorento went on sale back in 2015, and the refreshed 2019 Sorento is all about the details, which gives it a more luxurious look inside and outside, and better driving manners to boot. After a few hours of driving the top-of-the-line SX Limited AWD around Los Angeles, I had nothing to complain about. However, I also didn’t have any desire to rush out and buy one for myself. So, What’s New? Starting on the exterior of the 2019 Kia Sorento, the tiger nose grille is better defined and integrated into the front bumper. It’s also wider and taller, making the front end of the car more aggressive. The lower fascia is also improved with a more swept back look, and a lower profile scuff plate under the front bumper, which makes the overall design a little cleaner. The front lighting is much improved, especially with the more … [Read more...] about First Drive: A Detail-Oriented Refresh Makes the Best-In-Class Kia Sorento Better

Tweet TweetYou win some, you lose some… The Koreans have recently had activity that can be summed up in a single word: “booming”. But sometimes, no matter how careful you are or how good you plan things, there are some teething problems. Apparently there was some manufacturing defect in them which meant that the rear brake calipers weren’t properly done. As a result, over time, they may leak braking fluid. While the leak itself is not very important, over sustained periods it would light up the dashboard warning of your Kia Sorento. Other side effects would be a brake pedal that’s slightly spongy. Should the problem not be attended to for a serious amount of time, the Kia Sorento would experience brake failure and an increased risk of potential crashes. Kia acted upon the NHTSA notification and announced that its dealers will inspect and replace the rear calipers if necessary at no charge. Pretty much standard stuff but if you’re one of the 8.000 … [Read more...] about Kia Sorento to be called in for a recall

I may have driven from Crested Butte, Colo., back to Portland in a Kia Stinger, but that's not how I got to the snow-encrusted mountain town wedged deep in the middle of the Rockies. Nope, I got there the "quick" way via Dog Friendly Airlines, a two-hour stop in San Francisco, a landing at Montrose airport and a two-hour drive in the 2019 Kia Sorento. That, plus a brief jaunt around Crested Butte would be the extent of my seat time in the revised-for-2019 family crossover, but it was enough to shine a light on what's changed (not a lot) and remind that this is still a worthwhile alternative to a pair of midsize SUV segments. Ah, they actually changed it? Sure did! It takes looking quite closely at side-by-side photos, but lo-and-behold, there were subtle styling changes made for the 2019 Sorento. The headlight clusters were rearranged so that the LED turn signal strip is now below the headlight elements rather than above them. Below, there are still four LED running lights (still found … [Read more...] about 2019 Kia Sorento SX-L V6 Quick Spin: A handsome refresh
